Kim is in a new world and works for an artificial intelligence company. She got a promotion 5 years ago and can't wait to rise to higher ranks involving interacting with meaningful tasks. A lot of the activities in Kim's life are limited. She wears clothes in specific colors that are gender neutral. The right to freedom and privacy is not known to this world. The choices of food, intimacy, and childbirth are monitored. Defiance from the norm leads to punishment by the Hierarchy. Kim later meets a friend. Her growing anger makes her embark on looking for the supposed enemies behind all this. Is Kim going to succeed in her mission?

Development and growth are what humans are working towards. Artificial intelligence is the main tool used to develop health, education, finance, and other sectors. Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a fictitious novel that depicts a premium example of such a world. It demonstrates a world where robots are deemed to be superior to men. This world is governed by rules that can lead to regrettable consequences if broken. This is what Kim has to deal with every day. This is an example of the future the world may attain.

Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is like a visual novel. The author uses a likable writing style that draws the reader in. The aspects in the book are well described, portraying the intended message. The activities happening in the world portrayed by Craig W. Stanfill are ones that scientists hope to develop in the future. I love this book because it shows human inventions, disasters, and undesirable products. The fact that this novel has been written fictitiously gives people a peek into an expected future. A world that contains robots and many aspects of virtual reality is one of the best things to read about. The fact that the book contains little scientific jargon doesn't mean it is devoid of humor and sarcasm, making it an exciting read.

I'm excited to award Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice by Craig W. Stanfill 5 out of 5 stars. I give the book a full rating since I didn't find any aspect to dislike. The book is exceptionally well edited since I didn't spot any grammatical errors or typos. I love how creative the author is in developing names for the characters in this book. Days are also named in a fun way that is different from ours. The author shows a clear distinction between labor camps and wealthy districts. The function of the Hierarchy shows the role of leadership in this world.

All readers fascinated by science fiction will love this book. The author has introduced the aspect of drug and alcohol use in the book to show the state of mental health of the characters in the book. Any reader who dislikes this aspect might want to avoid this book. This is a novel set in the future that no one would like to miss.

The concepts of this book might be our future reality; surrounded by robots who controlled us, and we lose power. Hope it's not the case. AI is developing, and inventions are becoming greater, so maybe the author's imagination will come to reality, in my opinion. Who knows! Good job on a well-written review!

Thank you for your participation. I'm also afraid that this might happen, but I silently pray it doesn't. It is not what I would wish upon the world.
